Overview

The Thomas House Restaurant & Inn is a historic, open-and-operating live/work property. The original dwelling was built in 1815, with an 1854 addition.

There is also an unfinished basement and mention of a private entrance and a bath rough-in that was formerly a second apartment. Turn-key, with all furniture, fixtures, and equipment included.

Located in historic downtown Dayton, Virginia at 222 Main St, the property sits on a 0.46-acre lot. The listed zoning is B-2 Business (General).

This configuration can fit operators looking for a combined hospitality and dining concept under one roof, with on-site residential space included.
